Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that hands-free cellphones are just as harmful to drivers as hand-held ones because it is the conversation, not the phone, that is distracting(分散) their attention. “Even though your eyes are looking right at something, when you are on the cellphone, you are not as likely to see it,” says Professor David Strayer. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, it's not that critical(危急的), but that l% could be the time a child runs into the street,” he adds.
Dr. Strayer’s studies have also found that talking on a cellphone is far more distracting than talking with a passenger. Listening to the radio, to music or to a book on tape also isn’t as distracting, because it doesn’t require the same level of interaction as a conversation. But even drivers may miss some details of a book on tape if their attention is focused on driving tasks. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important—like police officers learn to search faces in crowds.
And the Utah researchers have found a rare group of “super-taskers”—about 2.5% of the population—who seem able to attend to more than one thing with ease.
Many more people think they can effectively do several things at the same time, but they are really turning their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either. Clearly, it is easier to put some tasks together than others.” Not all distractions are the same,’’ says Dr. Strayer. Things like cleaning and working out can be done automatically while the mind is focused elsewhere. But doing homework and texting at the same time isn’t possible. Even talking and watching TV is difficult. “Just try talking with your wife while watching football. It’s impossible,” jokes Dr. Strayer.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The harm in using phones while driving.
B. The advantages of hand-held phones.
C. The danger of running in the street.
D. The causes of road accidents.
2.What does the example of police officers in Paragraph 2 show?
A. Searching for faces requires more attention than driving.
B. Talking to a crowd calls for a high level of attention.
C. One’s attention can be easily distracted in crowds.
D. The ability to attend to two tasks can be trained.
3.“Super-taskers” can be best described as people who can .
A. do several things effectively at the same time
B. turn their attention rapidly to two things
C. handle all difficult tasks with ease
D. pay full attention to one task
4.Which of the following can you do while talking on the phone?
A. Doing homework. B. Writing a letter.
C. Working out. D. Watching TV.

Roger Federer, who recently became the oldest man to hold the No. 1 ranking in men’s tennis at the age 36, will bring a 12-match winning streak (连胜) to the BNP Paribas Open, which starts this week at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Federer, a five-time winner of the hard-court event and a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion, on Tuesday was seeded No. 1 in a field that has been given up by injuries to several excellent players. Among those missing are world No. 2 Rafael Nadal (hip injury), Stan Wawrinka (knee), who lost to Federer in the 2017 final, David Goffin (eye) and Andy Murray (hip surgery).
Federer, who has spent 305 weeks of his career at the top the Assn of Tennis Professional world rankings, must reach the semifinals (半决赛) at Indian Wells to keep his No. 1 status. If he exits sooner than that, Nadal would regain the top spot. Federer has a first-round bye (轮空) and a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals, where he likely would face No. 5 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria.
Five-time Indian Wells champion Novak Djokovic, who had a small medical intervention (干预) on his troublesome right elbow earlier this year, was seeded 10th in the tournament. Djokovic has played only four matches this year because of his elbow problems and hasn’t played a tournament since he lost to Hyeon Chung of South Korea in the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January.
Maria Sharapova of Russia will face Naomi Osaka of Japan on Wednesday with their match scheduled for not before 5:00 p.m.
On Thursday, Serena Williams will play Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will play Heather Watson of the United Kingdom during the evening session (7 p.m. start).
1.Why does Federer have a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals?
A. Because he is seeded No. 1
B. Because many excellent players are missing.
C. Because he is well enough to beat any player.
D. Because he has a first-round bye.
2.Who is most likely to be the seed next to Federer among the players who can play in the BNP Paribas Open?
A. Rafael Nadal. B. Novak Djokovic.
C. Dominic Thiem. D. Maria Sharapova.
3.What is the trouble with Novak Djokovic, which stopped him playing the tournament?
A. He was seeded 10th in the tournament. B. He has played fewest matches.
C. He lost to Hyeon Chung. D. He has elbow problems.
4.Why does the author use most words to talk about Federer?
A. Because he is seeded No. 1.
B. Because will bring a 12-match winning streak.
C. Because he is the oldest to hold the No. 1 ranking and was seeded No. 1.
D. Because the author believes he can beat anyone in the tournament.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
I was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in goth（粗野的）dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, the same people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turns out I didn't have to.
One of the goth youths jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn’t say much — he was greedy — but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a glint in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.
Writing this now, several years later I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.

A.Because they were dressed in goth dress and appearance.

D.Because they killed two children.
2.What did the man want the author to do?
A.Help him get money. B.Bring him some food.
C.Provide him for money. D.Refuse to take care of him.
3.What word can the underlined word “glint” mean in paragraph 3?
A.flash B.gloom
C.surprise D.happiness
4.What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A.The author is also a model citizen like the girl.

C.The author is deeply moved by the girl.
